Re: What are you STILL drinking right now (LOL). . .

I don't usually imbibe at lunch, but the other guys "forced" me to match their beers, so I had Knob Creek at my favorite bar (KC is the best they have).

On the way home, I stopped by the ABC store to add some local flavor to my liquor cabinet. I was draining too much of my out of state stock. I only meant to buy Old Forester 100, but there have been a few posts about Blanton's this week, and I haven't had it in a while, so I said, what the heck. It's sitting right beside me in a snifter now.

I showed my wife the "B" on the stopper, but she wasn't amused. She thought I was about to go off on a hunt to buy a bottle for each letter. Silly, girl. She doesn't realize that all I care about is what's IN THE BOTTLE, not what it looks like.

I have only had a couple of drinks of this stuff, but I am very impressed. I see a bottle in my future soon. And now with word that its all bottled, I might have to bunker some. (I love "bunker" as a verb )

Re: What are you STILL drinking right now (LOL). . .

Last night, I was looking in my mini-bunker for something a little different. Finally, I reached way in the back and pulled out my dwindling bottle of Old Grand Dad 114. Poured myself a stiff one on the rocks and sat down with my book.

It was so good. Very full bodied and flavorful, I enjoyed every drop. I wish I could just drive over to the ABC store and replace it, but I will have to go out of state again to get it.

I finished off my evening with a very small (about 1/2 oz) Grand Marnier 150th Anniversary. Yum.

The last drink from my Old Fitz 1849.

As I was taking the last couple of sips, it brought to mind ORVW 10/107 in spite of the difference in proof and probably in age, as well. I may have to pick up another bottle of the 1849 just so I can do a one-on-one comparison.
